Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical waste treatment technology, specifically to a device and system for treating psychotropic and narcotic drug waste. Background Technology

[0002] As indispensable special drugs in clinical diagnosis and treatment, narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances (hereinafter referred to as psychotropic drugs) are characterized by strong addictiveness and high risk of abuse. Once they flow into illegal channels, they will seriously endanger public safety. Therefore, they need to be subject to strict special management. Among them, the disposal of waste (including empty ampoules, waste patches, unused liquid drugs, expired and damaged drugs, etc.) is a key link in ensuring closed-loop management of the whole process. At present, the disposal of psychotropic drug waste needs to meet three criteria: irreversibility, loss of pharmacological activity, and full traceability to prevent loss.

[0003] In existing technologies, the Ruiyibo Intelligent Narcotics and Psychotropic Drugs Management Equipment is commonly used to intelligently manage the storage, requisition, and use of narcotic and psychotropic drugs. It can perform preliminary recycling and storage of empty ampoules of narcotic and psychotropic drugs and generate special registers and accounts through the associated system, which to a certain extent meets the principle of full traceability. After all drugs have been traced, their waste is centrally crushed and inactivated.

[0004] However, in actual use of the aforementioned intelligent narcotic and psychotropic drug management equipment, these devices are bulky and occupy a large area, making them difficult to place flexibly near clinical departments. They also cannot meet the requirement of immediate disposal upon use. Furthermore, centralized treatment of narcotic and psychotropic drug waste involves a long interval between initial collection and final inactivation, during which illegal extraction of residual drugs is possible. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a narcotic and psychotropic drug waste treatment device and system to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a device and system for the treatment of psychotropic drug waste. By designing a miniaturized, desktop device for the management and treatment of psychotropic drug waste, this invention enables the immediate, sealed, and intelligent disposal of psychotropic drug waste, reducing the workload of medical personnel and improving the safety and standardization of disposal.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A device for treating psychotropic and narcotic drug waste includes a collection box, a treatment box fixedly connected to the top of the collection box, a feeding port on the top of the treatment box, and a retention component inside the treatment box for retaining psychotropic and narcotic drug waste in the feeding port for a certain period of time; the treatment box also includes a crushing component for crushing the psychotropic and narcotic drug waste in the feeding port, and a spraying component for spraying an inactivating agent during the crushing of the psychotropic and narcotic drug waste; the crushing component is equipped with a monitoring component for monitoring the content of active ingredients during the crushing of psychotropic and narcotic drug waste, wherein the higher the content of active ingredients during the crushing of psychotropic and narcotic drug waste, the longer the retention time of the psychotropic and narcotic drug waste by the retention component.

[0007] The technical principles of the above solution are as follows:

[0008] Psychotropic and narcotic drug waste, such as ampoules, is placed into the treatment box through the inlet at the top. The retention component retains the psychotropic and narcotic drug waste in the treatment box for a certain period of time. During this time, the crushing component crushes the psychotropic and narcotic drug waste. At the same time, the monitoring component monitors the content of active ingredients in the psychotropic and narcotic drug waste in real time during the crushing process. The higher the content of active ingredients in the psychotropic and narcotic drug waste during crushing, the longer the retention time of the psychotropic and narcotic drug waste is.

[0009] The above approach has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] 1. This solution achieves intelligent adaptation for the treatment of psychotropic and narcotic drug waste through the coordinated operation of retention components, crushing components, spraying components, and monitoring components. The active ingredient content fed back by the monitoring components in real time can directly control the retention time of the retention components. The higher the active ingredient content, the longer the retention time, ensuring that highly active waste can be fully crushed and come into contact with the inactivating agent. This effectively avoids the discharge of incompletely inactivated highly active waste, improves the thoroughness of psychotropic and narcotic drug waste treatment, and reduces the safety hazards caused by leakage of active ingredients in psychotropic and narcotic drugs.

[0011] 2. This solution integrates crushing, inactivation, and retention monitoring into one unit. The device has a simple and portable structure, allowing it to be placed on a desktop for real-time processing without the need to break down multiple processing steps. This simplifies the treatment process for psychotropic and narcotic drug waste. After deployment, it can achieve automated processing without frequent manual intervention, reducing the labor intensity of staff and improving the safety and convenience of the processing.

[0012] 3. This solution is specifically designed with spraying components and retention control mechanisms. Compared with traditional single crushing or inactivation treatment methods, the treatment time can be dynamically adjusted according to the content of active ingredients in the waste. This avoids the waste of inactivating agents and increased energy consumption caused by over-treatment of low-activity waste, while ensuring the treatment effect of high-activity waste, thus achieving a balance between treatment efficiency, treatment effect and cost control.

[0013] Furthermore, the retention component includes a rotating shaft and a controller. One end of the rotating shaft is rotatably engaged with the top wall of the processing chamber, and the other end of the rotating shaft extends through the bottom wall of the processing chamber into the collection box and is fixedly connected to a first sector gear. A second sector gear is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating shaft inside the processing chamber. The first and second sector gears are arranged in opposite directions. A driven gear is coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. A driving component is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the processing chamber. The controller is used to control the rotation of the output shaft of the driving component. A master gear is coaxially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the driving component. The master gear and the driven gear... The bottom and inner top wall of the treatment box are rotatably fitted with rotating rods. The ends of the rotating rods away from the inner wall of the treatment box are coaxially fixedly connected to transmission gears. The first sector gear and the second sector gear mesh with their adjacent transmission gears respectively. The bottom of the treatment box has a through hole, through which the treatment box and the collection box are connected. The bottom and inner top wall of the treatment box are symmetrically fixedly connected with fixing blocks. The side walls of the fixing blocks are all opened with sliding grooves, and baffles are symmetrically slidably fitted between adjacent sliding grooves. The bottom and inner top wall of the treatment box are provided with opening and closing components for opening and closing the baffles.

[0014] Beneficial effects: The retention component adopts a transmission structure with double sector gears and gear meshing, combined with the opening and closing components and baffle design, which can realize the controllability of waste retention time, adapt to the active ingredient content adjustment requirements fed back by the monitoring component, and ensure that each batch of waste can complete the retention, crushing and inactivation process as required, ensuring thorough treatment.

[0015] Furthermore, the opening and closing assembly includes a first link and a second link that are symmetrically hinged to the bottom and inner top wall of the processing box; the other ends of the first link and the second link are both hinged to their adjacent baffles; half gears are fixedly connected to the second link, and adjacent half gears are meshed; the rotating rods are all fixedly connected to the end of the first link adjacent to the baffle; torsion springs are fixedly connected to the bottom and inner top wall of the processing box, and the other ends of the torsion springs are all fixedly connected to their adjacent first links, and the torsion springs are all sleeved on the adjacent rotating rods.

[0016] Beneficial effects: The opening and closing assembly adopts an integrated structure that links the connecting rod, half gears, and torsion springs, adapting to the dynamic control requirements of the retention assembly. When the rotating rod drives the first connecting rod to rotate, the meshing action of adjacent half gears enables the two second connecting rods to swing in opposite directions synchronously, thereby driving the baffles on both sides to open and close smoothly and synchronously along the sliding groove.

[0017] Furthermore, the crushing assembly includes a connecting pipe fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the processing chamber. The bottom of the connecting pipe is connected to a through hole, and a funnel is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting pipe. Rollers are symmetrically rotated on the side wall of the funnel. Each roller is coaxially fixedly connected to a drive gear, and adjacent drive gears mesh with each other. Several blades are fixedly connected to each roller. A double-headed drive unit is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the processing chamber. The controller is used to control the rotation of the output shaft of the double-headed drive unit. One end of the output shaft of the double-headed drive unit passes through the side wall of the funnel and is coaxially fixedly connected to one of the rollers. The other end of the output shaft of the double-headed drive unit is coaxially fixedly connected to a wheel.

[0018] Beneficial effects: The crushing component adopts a double roller meshing drive structure, which, together with the blades on the rollers, can efficiently crush psychotropic drug waste, ensuring that the waste meets the requirements for irreversible disposal.

[0019] Furthermore, the spraying assembly includes several nozzles fixedly connected to the inner wall of the funnel, and a piston cylinder fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the treatment tank; a storage tank is fixedly connected to one side wall of the treatment tank, a piston rod is vertically slidably fitted inside the piston cylinder, a crank is hinged to the end of the piston rod away from the piston cylinder, and the end of the crank away from the piston rod is eccentrically hinged to the wheel; an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe are connected to the side wall of the piston cylinder, both of which are connected to a one-way valve, the inlet pipe is connected to the bottom of the storage tank, and the nozzles and the outlet pipe are connected.

[0020] Beneficial effects: The spraying assembly adopts a crank-connecting rod driven piston structure, which can achieve synchronous operation by utilizing the driving power of the crushing assembly, without the need for additional drive devices, saving equipment space and reducing costs; several nozzles are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the funnel, which can achieve uniform spraying of the inactivating agent. When the waste is crushed, it can fully contact the inactivating agent, effectively reducing the pharmacological activity of the waste and meeting the disposal criteria of "loss of pharmacological activity".

[0021] Furthermore, the monitoring component includes a detection electrode fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting tube, and a controller for receiving the effective component content value of the psychotropic drug waste in the connecting tube sent by the detection electrode, and controlling the operation of the drive unit and the dual-head drive unit based on the content value.

[0022] Beneficial effects: The active ingredients in psychotropic and narcotic drugs often possess redox properties. The detection electrode can directly contact the pulverized waste that has come into contact with the inactivating agent. When the active ingredients in the waste come into contact with the surface of the detection electrode, an oxidation or reduction reaction occurs. The electrode converts this reaction into a recognizable current or potential change signal. The controller then converts this reaction into a recognizable current or potential change signal, thereby determining the activity level of the psychotropic and narcotic drugs.

[0023] Furthermore, a through hole is opened on one side wall of the container, and a door is hinged to the through hole.

[0024] Beneficial effects: The hinged door design makes it easy for medical staff to open the door regularly to clean up the waste after treatment, and the operation is convenient.

[0025] Furthermore, a fingerprint lock is installed on the top of the processing box. The controller is used to receive the fingerprint information of the user collected by the fingerprint lock and control the rotation of the drive unit and the output shaft of the dual-head drive unit based on the fingerprint information.

[0026] Beneficial effects: The fingerprint lock can verify the identity of the operator. Only authorized medical personnel can open the disposal port to dispose of waste, effectively preventing unauthorized personnel from coming into contact with psychotropic drug waste and eliminating problems such as waste loss and illegal extraction at the source.

[0027] Furthermore, a system for treating psychotropic drug waste includes a data acquisition module, an authentication module, and a control module.

[0028] The data acquisition module is used to collect the user's fingerprint information using the fingerprint lock and send the fingerprint information to the authentication module.

[0029] The authentication module is used to verify the user's identity using fingerprint information, generate the verification result, and transmit the verification result to the control module.

[0030] The control module is used to control the operation of the drive unit and the dual-head drive unit based on the verification results using the controller.

[0031] Beneficial effects: Through the coordinated operation of the data acquisition module, authentication module and control module, the system realizes the integration of identity control and operation control of device operation. Only authorized personnel can trigger device operation, avoiding problems such as waste loss and improper disposal caused by unauthorized or illegal operation by irrelevant personnel.

[0032] Furthermore, it also includes a storage module for storing the user's fingerprint information.

[0033] Beneficial effects: The storage module is specifically designed to store user fingerprint information, enabling centralized management of authorized user information and facilitating rapid retrieval and comparison during subsequent fingerprint verification. Attached Figure Description

[0042] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0044] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0045] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0046] Implementation, for example, attached Figure 1 As shown: A device for treating psychotropic and narcotic drug waste includes a collection box 1. A treatment box 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the collection box 1 by screws. The top of the treatment box 2 has a discharge port. The treatment box 2 is equipped with a retention component for retaining the psychotropic and narcotic drug waste in the discharge port for a certain period of time. A through hole is opened on one side wall of the collection box 1, and a door 31 is hinged to the through hole.

[0047] The processing box 2 is also equipped with a crushing component for crushing the psychotropic drug waste in the inlet, and a spraying component for spraying inactivating agent during crushing of psychotropic drug waste; the crushing component is equipped with a monitoring component for monitoring the content of active ingredients during crushing of psychotropic drug waste, wherein the higher the content of active ingredients during crushing of psychotropic drug waste, the longer the retention time of psychotropic drug waste in the retention component.

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, specifically, the retention components include shaft 3 and controller.

[0049] One end of the rotating shaft 3 is rotatably engaged with the top wall inside the processing box 2, and the other end of the rotating shaft 3 extends through the bottom wall of the processing box 2 into the collection box 1 and is integrally formed with a first sector gear 5. A second sector gear 4 is integrally formed on the side wall of the rotating shaft 3 inside the processing box 2. The first sector gear 5 and the second sector gear 4 are arranged in opposite directions.

[0050] A driven gear 6 is coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 3 via a key; a driving component is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the processing box 2 via screws; the controller is used to control the rotation of the output shaft of the driving component. In this embodiment, the driving component is a stepper motor 7; a main gear 8 is coaxially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the stepper motor 7 via a key, and the main gear 8 meshes with the driven gear 6.

[0051] The bottom and inner top wall of the processing box 2 are rotatably fitted with rotating rods 9. The end of the rotating rod 9 away from the inner wall of the processing box 2 is coaxially fixedly connected to a transmission gear 10 by a key. The first sector gear 5 and the second sector gear 4 respectively mesh with their adjacent transmission gears 10.

[0052] The bottom of the processing box 2 has a through hole, and the processing box 2 and the collection box 1 are connected through the through hole.

[0053] like Figure 5 As shown, the bottom and inner top wall of the processing box 2 are symmetrically fixed with fixing blocks 11 by screws. Each fixing block 11 has a sliding groove on its side wall, and a baffle 12 is symmetrically slidably fitted between adjacent sliding grooves. The bottom and inner top wall of the processing box 2 are provided with opening and closing components for opening and closing the baffle 12.

[0054] like Figure 5 As shown, specifically, the opening and closing assembly includes a first link 13 and a second link 14 that are symmetrically hinged to the bottom and inner top wall of the processing box 2; the other ends of the first link 13 and the second link 14 are both hinged to their adjacent baffles 12.

[0055] The second connecting rod 14 is integrally formed with half gears 15, and adjacent half gears 15 are meshed; the rotating rod 9 is integrally formed with the end of the first connecting rod 13 adjacent to it away from the baffle 12.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, torsion springs 16 are fixedly connected to the bottom and inner top wall of the processing box 2 by screws. The other end of each torsion spring 16 is fixedly connected to the adjacent first connecting rod 13 by screws. Each torsion spring 16 is sleeved on the adjacent rotating rod 9.

[0057] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the controller controls the output shaft of the stepper motor 7 to rotate. At this time, the main gear 8 drives the driven gear 6 to rotate the rotating shaft 3. The rotation of the rotating shaft 3 drives the first sector gear 5 and the second sector gear 4 to rotate.

[0058] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, since the first sector gear 5 and the second sector gear 4 are arranged in opposite directions, when the second sector gear 4 rotates clockwise to mesh with the upper transmission gear 10, the upper transmission gear 10 rotates counterclockwise, thereby driving the upper first connecting rod 13 to rotate counterclockwise, and thus driving... Figure 3The torsion spring 16 rotates and stores energy. Due to the meshing of the half gears 15 on the second connecting rod 14, the first connecting rod 13 and the second connecting rod 14 above drive the upper baffle 12 to expand within the sliding groove, thereby opening the inlet. After the inlet is opened, medical staff put the waste of psychotropic drugs (such as liquid ampoules) into the processing box 2 through the inlet. At the same time, the second sector gear 4 continues to rotate. When the upper second sector gear 4 disengages from the transmission gear 10, the torsion spring 16 restores its deformation and releases energy, driving the first connecting rod 13 to rotate clockwise, thereby causing the upper baffle 12 to contract and close, thus sealing the inlet. This prevents the waste from being taken out through the inlet and can only be taken out after being crushed, increasing its safety.

[0059] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, specifically, the crushing component includes a connecting pipe 17 fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the processing box 2 by screws. The bottom of the connecting pipe 17 is connected to a through hole, and the top of the connecting pipe 17 is integrally formed and connected to a funnel 18. Rollers 19 are symmetrically rotated and fitted on the side wall of the funnel 18. Each roller 19 is coaxially fixedly connected to a drive gear 20 by a key. Adjacent drive gears 20 mesh with each other. Several blades 21 are fixedly connected to each roller 19 by screws. A double-headed drive component is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the processing box 2 by screws. The controller is used to control the rotation of the output shaft of the double-headed drive component. In this embodiment, the double-headed drive component is a double-headed motor 22. One end of the output shaft of the double-headed motor 22 passes through the side wall of the funnel 18 and is connected to one of the rollers 19 by a coupling. The other end of the output shaft of the double-headed motor 22 is coaxially fixedly connected to a wheel 23 by a key.

[0060] like Figure 6 As shown, specifically, the spraying assembly includes several nozzles (not shown in the figure) fixedly connected to the inner wall of the funnel 18 by screws, and a piston cylinder 24 fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the treatment tank 2 by screws; a storage tank 29 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the treatment tank 2 by screws. Figure 1 In the middle), the storage tank 29 contains an inactivating agent. In this embodiment, the inactivating agent is a 5% sodium hydroxide solution. A piston column 26 is vertically slidably fitted inside the piston cylinder 24. A crank 27 is hinged to the end of the piston column 26 away from the piston cylinder 24. The end of the crank 27 away from the piston column 26 is eccentrically hinged to the wheel 23.

[0061] The piston cylinder 24 has an inlet pipe 28 and an outlet pipe 25 connected to its side wall. Both the inlet pipe 28 and the outlet pipe 25 are connected to a one-way valve. The inlet pipe 28 is connected to the bottom of the storage tank 29. The nozzle and the outlet pipe 25 are also connected. In this embodiment, the liquid flow direction of the one-way valve in the inlet pipe 28 is from the storage tank 29 to the piston cylinder 24, and the liquid flow direction of the one-way valve in the outlet pipe 25 is from the piston cylinder 24 to the nozzle.

[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the monitoring component includes a detection electrode 30 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting tube 17 by screws. The controller is used to receive the effective component content value of the psychotropic drug waste in the connecting tube 17 sent by the detection electrode 30, and control the stepper motor 7 and the dual-head motor 22 to operate based on the content value.

[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, a fingerprint lock 32 is embedded in the top of the processing box 2. The controller is used to receive the fingerprint information of the user collected by the fingerprint lock 32, and control the output shafts of the stepper motor 7 and the dual-head motor 22 to rotate based on the fingerprint information.

[0064] Combination Figure 4 As shown, the fingerprint information of medical staff is pre-registered into the controller via the fingerprint lock 32. When the medical staff completes fingerprint verification using the fingerprint lock 32, the controller synchronously controls the output shaft of the dual-head motor 22 to rotate. The output shaft of the dual-head motor 22 drives one of the roller shafts 19 to rotate. Through the meshing of the two drive gears 20, the other roller shaft 19 is driven to rotate synchronously in the opposite direction, thereby driving the blade 21 to rotate. When waste falls from the inlet through the funnel 18 into the space between the two roller shafts 19, the blade 21 on the roller shaft 19 can cut and shred the waste, making it irreparable.

[0065] Combination Figure 6 As shown, simultaneously, the output shaft of the dual-head motor 22 drives the wheel 23 to rotate. The wheel 23 drives the piston column 26 to slide up and down in the piston cylinder 24 through the crank 27. When the piston column 26 slides upward, the space inside the piston cylinder 24 increases, forming a negative pressure. Under the action of the one-way valve in the liquid inlet pipe 28, the inactivating agent in the storage tank 29 enters the piston cylinder 24 through the liquid inlet pipe 28. When the piston column 26 slides downward, the space inside the piston cylinder 24 decreases, and the pressure increases. At this time, the inactivating agent in the piston cylinder 24 is delivered to each nozzle through the liquid outlet pipe 25. The nozzles spray the inactivating agent evenly into the funnel 18. By spraying the inactivating agent in real time during crushing, the waste can be continuously cut and stirred by the blade 21 during crushing, so that the waste fragments and the inactivating agent can fully contact each other, thereby quickly reducing the pharmacological activity of psychotropic drugs in the waste and ensuring that the waste meets the disposal criteria of losing pharmacological activity. The mixture of crushed waste residue and inactivating agent falls into the connecting pipe 17 and is held by the lower baffle 12 for a certain period of time. When the first sector gear 5 rotates to mesh with the lower transmission gear 10, the lower baffle 12 opens and closes on the same principle as the upper baffle 12. At this time, the lower baffle 12 opens, and the inactivated and crushed waste falls into the collection box 1 for storage.

[0066] Meanwhile, the detection electrode 30 on the inner wall of the connecting tube 17 monitors the content of residual active pharmaceutical ingredients on the pulverized waste in real time. In this embodiment, the detection electrode 30 is a PTFE platinum redox electrode. The principle is that the active ingredients of psychotropic drugs (such as opioids and benzodiazepines) have reversible redox properties. When these active ingredients come into contact with the surface of the platinum electrode core, a redox reaction of gaining and losing electrons will occur, causing a potential change on the surface of the electrode core. This potential change is transmitted to the controller through the internal wire of the electrode. The controller converts the potential signal into the corresponding active ingredient concentration value, realizing real-time monitoring of the content of active ingredients in the waste. This embodiment will not be elaborated further.

[0067] An active ingredient threshold is preset in the controller. The controller compares the detected content value with the actual content. When the active ingredient content detected by the controller is higher than the standard threshold, the controller controls the output shaft of the stepper motor 7 to rotate slowly. At this time, the time it takes for the first sector gear 5 to rotate and contact the transmission gear 10 below increases, which increases the retention time of the waste by the baffle 12 and the contact time with the inactivating agent, thereby increasing the inactivation time of the inactivating agent and making the active ingredient of the drug more thoroughly inactivated.

[0068] Medical staff can periodically open the collection box 1 through the hinged door 31 to clean up the treated waste. After cleaning, the door 31 should be closed to ensure that the collection box 1 is sealed.

[0069] This solution achieves intelligent adaptation for the treatment of psychotropic drug waste through the coordinated operation of retention, crushing, spraying, and monitoring components. The real-time feedback of active ingredient content from the monitoring components directly controls the retention time of the retention component; higher active ingredient content requires a longer retention time, ensuring that highly active waste is fully crushed and comes into contact with the inactivating agent. This effectively prevents the discharge of incompletely inactivated highly active waste, improving the thoroughness of psychotropic drug waste treatment and reducing safety hazards caused by leakage of active ingredients. Furthermore, this solution integrates crushing, inactivation, and retention monitoring into a single, simple, and portable device that can be placed on a desktop for immediate post-use treatment of psychotropic drug waste. This simplifies the treatment process by eliminating the need for multiple processing steps and enables automated processing after deployment, reducing the workload of workers and improving the safety and convenience of the treatment process.

[0070] A system for treating psychotropic drug waste includes a data acquisition module, an authentication module, a storage module, and a control module.

[0071] The data acquisition module is used to collect the user's fingerprint information using the fingerprint lock 32 and send the fingerprint information to the authentication module.

[0072] The authentication module is used to verify the user's identity using fingerprint information, generate the verification result, and transmit the verification result to the control module.

[0073] The control module is used to control the operation of stepper motor 7 and dual-head motor 22 based on the verification results using a controller.

[0074] The storage module is used to store the user's fingerprint information.

[0075] The psychotropic drug waste treatment system in this solution achieves integrated identity control and operation management of the device through the coordinated linkage of the data acquisition module, authentication module and control module. Only authorized personnel can trigger the operation of the device, avoiding problems such as waste loss and improper treatment caused by unauthorized or illegal operation by irrelevant personnel.

[0076] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
